Gil Vicente hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 5 points and a 17th position in the Primeira Liga table. Visiting Rio Ave holds 7th place with 10 pts.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
